Assessment of laparoscopic intracorporeal intestinal anastomosis training using simulation-based 3D printed models: exploring surgical performance and learning curves.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Intestinal anastomosis is a clinical procedure widely used to reconstruct the digestive tract, but authentic laparoscopic intracorporeal intestinal anastomosis (LIIA) models are lacking. However, three-dimensional (3D) printing can enable authentic and reusable models. In this paper, a novel cost-effective 3D-printing training model of LIIA is designed and the authenticity and validity of the model are tested.

Methods

A fused deposition modeling 3D printing and an assembled lab model were built to test LIIA. Fifteen surgeons were required to perform LIIA, and their operation score and time were recorded and analyzed. Five experts were invited to assess the face and content validity of the models. A study was also performed to further evaluate and validate
